Key Points:

  • San Francisco will close several streets on Wednesday for a victory parade celebrating the Golden State Valkyries' first WNBA championship win, with the parade running from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. between the Ferry Building and Second and King streets.
  • The parade route reflects the team's commute from their Oakland practice facility to their home court at the Chase Center, starting with a private event in Oakland and a boat ride to the Ferry Building.
  • Public transit agencies including BART, San Francisco Bay Ferry, Caltrain, and Muni will provide extra service or detours to accommodate parade crowds, with some Muni lines temporarily suspended along the Embarcadero.
  • Road closures will begin as early as midnight Wednesday, affecting key streets such as the Embarcadero, King Street, Washington Street, and several others in the downtown area.
  • To prevent traffic issues like those caused by Waymo autonomous vehicles on the Fourth of July, the city will restrict autonomous vehicle operations and limit pickup/drop-off zones in parts of the Financial District, South of Market, and South Beach during the parade day.
